Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

Carboxylate form of Lovastatin (Cat. No. 438185) that is active in whole cells and cell-free assays.

Carboxylate form of Lovastatin (Cat. No. 438185) that is active in whole cells and cell-free assays. Lovastatin is reported to be an anti-hypercholesterolemic agent that acts as an inhibitor of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase and blocks a series of biological events including activation of p21^ras by insulin in 3T3-L1 fibroblasts and 3T3-L1 adipocytes, farnesylation of p21^ras, which decreases the pool of intracellular Ras available for subsequent activation by growth factors (including insulin), and N-ras-induced neuronal differentiation. Causes cell cycle arrest in the late G₁ phase. Shown to inhibit the stimulation of MAP kinase by insulin in HIRcB cells and block the transcription of the type-I SCR gene in THP-1-derived macrophages. Also blocks PDGF receptor tyrosine phosphorylation and MAP kinase activation by PDGF.
